CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 120: THE NAME OF A GENIUS_6

"Then it should be you who suggests it to the committee, Professor Schulz."

"Of course, in fact, I already have. Professor Gray from the committee said he would seriously consider my proposal before giving you a call, because I’m also quite interested in his thoughts. But I think we should take your opinion into account, I don’t know if you can accept this... you know, after all, we’re friends."

This left Danis speechless...

So this is how a genius considers a friend’s thoughts, just do it first?

"There’s nothing unacceptable, Schulz, as I said before, this is a fact, and I just want to solve this issue as soon as possible now."

"Exactly! So I think you need to communicate with him. Those who raise the problems are often better at solving them. But you know, he hasn’t achieved anything significant yet, and you are one of the reviewers of that paper, quickly pass his review, and it will be published in the Ann. Math May issue."

"Ahem..."

"In fact, I’ve just called Lott Degen. I’ve also approved the paper review."

"Smart move. Alright, I’m hanging up then."

"Wait, Schulz, do you think we’re entering an era of a genius explosion?"

The other side didn’t respond for a while, and after a long pause the voice came through: "I hope so, but who knows? Goodbye."

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Danis didn’t feel too upset, he even felt that Schulz was saving his face.

To be able to publish a paper in Ann. Math at sixteen and to be invited to give a thirty-minute report at the World Algebraic Geometry Conference. This conference isn’t something just anyone can join, after all, it’s one of the satellite conferences of the World Congress of Mathematicians.

Those who can receive invitations and be invited to report at the conference are mostly truly top mathematicians, researchers, and scholars. After all, algebraic geometry is one of the most cutting-edge and also the most popular mathematical research fields.

Having a problem pointed out in the paper by such a kid seems to make it easier to accept psychologically.

The world of mathematics welcomes geniuses, especially those of us who deal with theory, we need geniuses even more!

...

Huaxia, Yanbei University, International Mathematics Research Center.

Qiao Yu is lying quietly in bed, still awake.

He is very confident that there is nothing wrong with his proof process.

Qiao Yu is very confident about this point, as it was just a very brief proof process.

From Qiao Yu’s perspective, it’s hard to find inspiration for mathematical problems, but once you do, the proof process is actually quite simple.

Moreover, he used tools that are widely used, which means if anyone says his proof is unreasonable, then many mathematical papers might have to be taken down from journals.

He doesn’t know yet that his proof process and ideas have already been recognized by many big figures worldwide.

It has even reached the hands of that man, who tried hard to find unreasonable parts but failed. But Qiao Yu is very clear that once his proof spreads, it will definitely give someone a small Qiao Family shock.

So at this moment, Qiao Yu is actually quite calm inside, not sleeping because of excitement, but mainly because he’s still thinking about how to fill this gap. That is, how to solve the local-global consistency issue of the Geometric Langlands Conjecture applying to Qiao Dian.

If the range is expanded a bit, it might even be possible to replace Qiao Dian with complex singularities.

The other side should have two choices, either rework the derivation of this part of the paper, or just patch it directly.

After putting himself in others’ shoes, Qiao Yu feels it would be simpler to choose the latter, like adding a homological layer in a new category...

But this problem only circled once in Qiao Yu’s mind before he started thinking about a more critical issue.

In this intellectual showdown game, he temporarily won a round, but it seems he is still far from achieving his dream.

Yes, the dream of earning a lot of money, buying a neighborhood, and then redeveloping it.

After honing himself at Yanbei University for two months, he is no longer the innocent youth who knows nothing about how society operates.

Through his observations, mathematicians with some status are likely not short of money, like neither Tian Yan Zhen nor his grand master Yuan Zhengxin are short of money.

But to say both are very wealthy is not necessarily true.

At least their assets certainly can’t afford to buy a neighborhood and rebuild it.

The two masters don’t seem to be very interested in money, relatively speaking, they value their status in the academic community more.

This worries Qiao Yu a bit.

From the reading lists they prepared for him, and their daily teachings, it’s clear that both masters want him to pursue a career in pure mathematics. Originally, for Qiao Yu, this wasn’t a big problem.

But after staying at Yanbei University for so long, reading some books, attending some classes, and frequently communicating with professors, he discovered a serious issue. Regardless of whether he can solve the Prime Number Mystery or this series of difficulties, even if he does research them, how to monetize this remains an issue.

Accidentally leaking something that could cause all of humanity to completely lose confidence in the modern financial system, trying to make money off of it, would be quite difficult. And it could cause a huge mess...

Of course, this doesn’t mean Qiao Yu is short of money.

In fact, he has realized that with his current status, it’s impossible for him to lack money in his lifetime. After all, he can live a relatively affluent life now. His only fear is muddling through life in this haze forever...

He fears that once he gets older, like Senior Brother Chen, he would stop thinking about changing anything, but instead be content with being a world-renowned mathematician, only thinking about making waves in the academic world daily, with no thoughts of genuinely becoming a billionaire.

It’s not like he can place his grandfather’s statue at the entrance of a math center—it wouldn’t be appropriate.

Yes, when many mathematics titans around the world are just beginning to pay attention to this rising math star Qiao Yu, lying in bed, his thought process has already moved from pure mathematics to the must-not-forget-the-original-intent stage.

The difference is, now Qiao Yu’s appetite has grown bigger, and small-time activities can no longer satisfy him. After all, he now truly has no worries about his livelihood and can provide a good life for Qiao Xi.

His grand master has almost hinted that after graduation, he should take over his mathematics research center at Huaqing, not even needing to consider housing in Beijing, because the old man has almost explicitly offered to use the special talent introduction policy, housing, and future education for children, all without needing to worry.

Qiao Yu feels this is the old man’s attempt to shake his resolve, after all, if he can live near Huaqing in the future, with an almost unlimited meal card after the candy-coated bomb explodes, he’s afraid he’ll never have the motivation to strive to become a millionaire.

This is absolutely not acceptable, so Qiao Yu feels that planning for future monetary ventures should be put on the agenda.
